Delisle takes his noted outsider perspective and applies it domestically, this time as a boy amongst men through the universal rite of passage of the summer job. Even as a teenager, Delisle's keen eye for hypocrisy highlights the tensions of class and the rampant sexism an all-male workplace permits. \u003cp\u003e\u003c\/p\u003eGuy works the floor doing physically strenuous tasks. He is one of the few young people on site, and furthermore gets the job through his father's connections, a fact which rightfully earns him disdain from the lifers. Guy's dad spends his whole career in the white collar offices, working 9 to 5 instead of the rigorous 12-hour shifts of the unionized labor. Guy and his dad aren't close, and \u003ci\u003eFactory Summers \u003c\/i\u003eleaves Delisle reconciling whether the job led to his dad's aloofness and unhappiness. \u003cp\u003e\u003c\/p\u003eOn his days off, Guy finds refuge in art, a world far beyond the factory floor. Delisle shows himself rediscovering comics at the public library, and preparing for animation school-only to be told on the first day, \"There are no jobs in animation.\" Eager to pursue a job he enjoys, Guy throws caution to the wind.\u003ch3\u003eAuthor Biography\u003c\/h3\u003e\u003cp\u003eBorn in Québec City, Canada, in 1966, \u003cb\u003eGuy Delisle\u003c\/b\u003e now lives in the South of France with his wife and two children.
